Hi Clive,
I tried that initially but the problem i face is i
have quit out of dselect frist time and now it
remembers all the selections regardless if i press Q
or X or Esc... when I go to Install packages I would
like to hope and see there are no packages to install
remove or upgrade but instead i

First, I need to say that I've never installed Debian on a Mac, so my
suggestion could be plain dumb.
Well, said suggestion is: "Ju

You're right. It's been a very frustrating day all around. Sorry.
It seems I do indeed also have an issue with mounting the CD. Dselect
asks me for the name of a block device. Since I cannot find that term
Clyde was just trying to help you, you need to be more patient and read more
carefully. On most install cds, the distribution path is:
"/debian/dists/stable"
If it is not there your on your own. I would suggest exploring the cd and
writing down the path when you've found it, then go back to ds
This is really getting off the track. I'm getting advice on how to mount
a CD and as far as I can tell, I am not having any trouble mounting a CD.
I am having trouble determining what path dselect is asking for ON the CD.
AFTER the CD is mounted, dselect asks me for the path to the folder /
fi
I'm on a PC so things might be different:
Debian 2.1 r 2 dselect will try to mount my cdrom on
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt. The install process creates
this.
The path my dselect defaults to is
/debian/dists/stable.
All of this is default. I'm not sure why you
aren't getting these defaults...
On W
I just take the default by hitting enter numerous times.
The path depends on who made the CD, I would guess.

I don't think dselect is going to let me ls a CD is i

dselect says it's mounted. (after I enter: dev/cdrom in response to its
query)
What sort of input is it looking for? Could you give me at least an
example? Maybe that would help to clear the fog.
